What Drugs Are Illegal in Georgia?
Georgia law makes it illegal to possess, sell, distribute, manufacture, or traffic certain controlled substances. These substances are classified into five schedules. Drugs in the first schedule are believed to be the most addictive and have limited medical uses. The fifth schedule is considered the least addictive and has many accepted medical uses.
The drugs under each schedule are as follows:
- Schedule I: Marijuana, heroin, and LSD
- Schedule II: Cocaine, OxyContin, and methamphetamine
- Schedule III: Vicodin, Tylenol with codeine, and anabolic steroids
- Schedule IV: Xanax, Valium, and tramadol
- Schedule V: Certain cough syrups that have limited amounts of codeine per volume
If you are found in possession of these illegal substances, you could be charged with a misdemeanor or felony. The severity of your charge depends on the type and amount of the drug, in addition to the presence of aggravating factors.

Georgia Marijuana Laws
While other states have legalized the recreational use of marijuana, Georgia has not. Should you be found in possession of more than an ounce of marijuana, you could face felony charges punishable by one to 10 years in prison. If you are found in possession of less than an ounce, the penalties include up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Additionally, you could have your driver’s license suspended for up to six months.
Prescription Drugs & Georgia Law
In our state, it is illegal to carry prescription drugs without the original bottle. This means that you could be charged with possession of an illegal prescription if you carry drugs in a pillbox.
